Corner: Benches cause complaints

monitoring the corner since she
moved in. She said police will of
ten sit in their squad cars across
the street from her home, filming
the street kids.
“I think our rapid deployment
unit has done some surveillance,”
said Bev Mason, station manager
for the West University police sta
tion.
Mason said police only moni
tor an area after receiving a com
plaint. Most of the complaints
about street kids hanging out on
the benches around the neighbor
hood come from passersby.
“Those benches generate 15
calls a day, just in complaints,”
said Mason, who laments the
closing of the West University
park and that the occupants of
benches “don’t really care about
the community.”
Police have informed Guyer
that if she complained about the
street kids’ presence, they would
remove them.
“The cops came by and said
that they would rip up the bench
es," said Guyer. “I would think
that those benches are like a pub
lic sidewalk,”
According to Mason, the
benches belong to the city be
cause they were installed by
neighborhood associations 20
years ago.
“They’re city property in the
sense that these associations are
created by city interests,” said
Mason. “The benches are main
tained by the city.”
Mason added that she is grate
ful that someone is cleaning up
the benches on 14th Avenue and
Ferry Street, which citizens can
legally occupy for any given
amount of time.
ccThe reality is that there is
a law that says you can’t sit
from curb to sidewalk.
They’re sitting on benches so
they’re not breaking the
law.

“The reality is that there is a
law that says you can’t sit from
curb to sidewalk,” said Mason.
“They’re sitting on benches, so
they’re not breaking a law. ”
As for any comments the street
kids have about the situation, a
girl named Colleen had a few
words.
“Tell the cops they can kiss my
ass.”
Event: Costumes said to be convincing

“We have a pageant each
evening at 9 p.m. called the
Hardanger Wedding,” Perry said.
Written by one of the local resi
dents and performed by the local
Junction City High School drama
group, the play is about a Norwe
gian wedding.
Also, a German band from Al
bany and the Knox Brothers will
be performing.
The night before the festival,
the residents of Junction City
were working hard to create a
city within a city in a communi
ty effort, Neelson said.
The Scandinavian costumes
that people wear are so convinc
ing that some Danish friends of
Neelson, who were clad in blue
jeans, told her, “Let’s just say
you’re more Danish than Den
mark.”
“I think we need to stay in
touch with our Scandinavian
roots,” said Neelson, who is of
Norwegian descent. “Until 1951,

“It’s incredible that a city of

ABA refuses to take stand
on assisted suicide issue
By Laurie Asseo
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — The
American Bar Association re
fused to take a position on legaliz
ing doctor-assisted suicide
Wednesday, leaving it to states to
decide whether terminally ill peo
ple can get help in ending their
lives.
Amid arguments that the na
tion’s largest lawyers’ group
should stay out of the emotional
issue, ABA delegates defeated a
proposal to recommend mini
mum standards for states that
choose to legalize the practice.
Instead, delegates approved a
resolution that said assisted sui
cide “should be left to be resolved
by state legislatures and their
electorates.”
Any states that legalize the
practice should closely monitor
its use, the resolution said.
“Most of it is not ultimately a
legal question,” but a personal is
sue on which lawyers have no
more knowledge than the average
person, said Leslie W. Jacobs of
Cleveland, Ohio.
But others argued that lawyers
should use their expertise to rec
ommend standards for a practice
that is occurring regardless of its
legality.
“We need to provide guidance
and leadership on this issue,’ said
said David McIntosh of the Bever
ly Hills Bar Association.

Man vomits on
mayor at meeting
EUGENE (AP)—A man sat
through 30 minutes of a City
Council meeting Wednesday be
fore he suddenly rose, walked
over to the mayor and vomited
on his right shoulder. Then the
unidentified man left the room.
"I have no question in my
mind that it was premeditated,”
said Council Vice President Pat
Farr, who was facing the man
during the incident.
“I guess it's just not my day,”
Torrey said after the meeting.
